I cannot express enough how transformative my experience with Chaim is and continues to be. From our very first session, I was struck by his exceptional empathy and ability to truly understand my feelings and experiences. Chaim creates a safe/nonjudgmental space.
What truly sets Chaim apart is his active listening skills. He genuinely pays great attention to every detail I share. His communication skills/top-notch, making complex ideas easy to understand.
Chaim is patient. He allows me to work through my issues at my own pace, providing support and encouragement along the way.
His cultural competency is evident. He acknowledges and respects my unique background, making our sessions feel personalized and relevant.
Additionally, Chaim is a gifted problem solver. He has helped me identify challenges, explore potential solutions, and develop effective coping strategies.
Above all, his trustworthiness and commitment to maintaining confidentiality is priceless. Highly recommended.

It was really nice to get the right doctor I was looking for with Chaim. He has been attentive with our discussions and asks pertinent questions to get to the root cause of issues.
November 25, 2024Initials hidden
I highly recommend Chaim. Chaim is an excellent communicator and a fantastic listener. He shows great empathy and understanding when discussing tough topics.
Chaim has given me the skill set to tackle some of the hurdles in my life and provided the tools, but also the understanding and education of why I feel a certain way or experience anxiety or depression. Chaim makes every appointment matter and takes the time to understand what you're current issues deeply are, and what the underlying cause is.
I would highly recommend Chaim. Our sessions together have become a bright spot in my week. There is no conversation too far or not right. He allows me to speak as my most authentic self.

Chaim is the first therapist I've had that I can say I've had a truly great experience with. He's empathetic and genuinely cares. He brings a lot of experience and knowledge to the table, as well as a variety of techniques. I was going through a tough time when I first started seeing him and he brought me a lot of hope and relief. I highly recommend him!
October 17, 2023Caitlin L.Verified patient
He gets me- I feel seen and heard. The thing I like most about him is that he sees right through my defenses and calls me out on them by asking me questions that challenge my thinking. He is a very easy person to talk to and is able to pinpoint the core issue gently using wisdom. I definitely recommend booking an appointment.

Finding a therapist is a hit or miss sometimes, but my husband and I feel very comfortable with Mr. Shapiro. This is our first time doing marriage counseling, and now I know why it is so beneficial. Mr. Shapiro listened to our concerns and is very patient. He is also direct to the point and won't mince his words, and we prefer our therapist to be this way. It has definitely made our relationship better, and we look forward to resolving our issues with his help.

Dr. Shapiro is a shining example of an intelligent, caring physician who puts patients and their needs first. He understands psychiatry very well and communicates articulately, while also utilizing common sense and somehow always has the right approach! He is perceptive, has a good memory and great instincts. He is most importantly ethical and values integrity. I trust him. I value his advice and his opinion. Dr. Shapiro has gone above and beyond to help my wife and I through some very difficult situations in our lives. We are beyond grateful! I would highly recommend his services to anyone in need!!
